RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation application of PCT Patent Application No. PCT/CN2017/111531, filed on Nov. 17, 2017, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2016111238313, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Dec. 8, 2016 and entitled “MONITORING METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SERVER”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of computer technologies and, specifically, to a monitoring method and apparatus for a server, and a storage medium.

BACKGROUND

Currently, a main method for a server to monitor clients is that multiple clients (APP) are independently developed and independently deployed, and each has a running environment. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a running environment of a client in a related technology.

As shown in FIG. 1, an APP 1 to a new APP are independently developed and independently deployed, and each has a running environment. For example, the APP 1 includes a node server, a common gateway interface (CGI), a programming language script (PAGE), a model, a tool (Utils), a request proxy, and a process manager (Process Mgr). The same running environment is deployed on each of the APP 2 to the new APP. Consequently, coupling between the client and an entire service system is low, and there is no unified running environment and no unified dependency environment, and there are no unified operation and maintenance deployment or service running monitoring functions, leading to low monitoring availability of the server.

In addition, when the server monitors a client, monitoring on the client is not combined with alarm information of a target monitoring process. Consequently, no closed loop is formed to further control the target monitoring process, leading to low monitoring stability and low monitoring performance of the server, and low monitoring availability of the server.

The disclosed methods and systems are directed to solve one or more problems set forth above and other problems.

SUMMARY

The server also maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a monitoring apparatus of a server is further provided.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a monitoring method of a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the monitoring method of a server includes the followings.

S302: The server starts a target monitoring process of a client.

The server accesses the client, and monitors the client by using the target monitoring process. The target monitoring process is a process to be monitored by the server for the client. A service system architecture may be deployed on the server, and the service system architecture is a service framework for function encapsulation. Optionally, a function is encapsulated by using a Nodejs running environment, to implement a preset function of monitoring the client. Optionally, a web server forwards a request of a user to a port of the client. The web server is a reverse proxy server. For example, the web server is an Nginx server. The Nginx server forwards a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request to the port of the client, and the server configured to monitor the client obtains the target monitoring process by using the port of the client. A running status of the client, and a resource allocation status and a resource scheduling status in the system may be determined by using the target monitoring process. The Nginx server is a lightweight web server/reverse proxy server and email proxy server.

To manage and monitor an accessed client, the server first starts a target monitoring process. After the target monitoring process is started, the target monitoring process may be restarted according to a preset restarting condition, to ensure that the target monitoring process remains in a running status. Optionally, the preset restarting condition is a condition that a file of the client is updated, that is, the target monitoring process is smoothly restarted after the file of the client is updated. When a domain number of the client is changed, the target monitoring process may be restarted by using a call interface of the client. Alternatively, the preset restarting condition may be a condition that the server detects that the target monitoring process exits due to an exception, that is, the target monitoring process is automatically restarted when the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

S304: The server monitors whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

In the technical solution provided in S304 in the present disclosure, after the server starts the target monitoring process, the server monitors whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, i.e., whether the target monitoring process exits due to an exception (e.g., an error or unhandled error).

After the server starts the target monitoring process, the target monitoring process starts to run. During running of the target monitoring process, the server may monitor the target monitoring process by using a monitoring module of the target monitoring process, to monitor whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits due to an exception. If the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server performs S308. If the server detects that the target monitoring process does not exceptionally exit, the server continues monitoring the target monitoring process.

Optionally, in this embodiment, that the server monitors whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits includes: monitoring, by the server, whether a client subprocess exceptionally exits.

S306: The server sends, to a preset terminal when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

In the technical solution provided in S306 in the present disclosure, the server sends, to the preset terminal when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the preset terminal sending an operation and maintenance instruction to the server according to the alarm information.

After the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server automatically restarts the target monitoring process when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, and sends, to the preset terminal, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits. Optionally, the alarm information is an alarm SMS message, and the preset terminal is a management terminal, for example, a terminal device such as a mobile communications terminal, a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet device (MID), or a PAD. A telephone number, an email address, and the like of the preset terminal are configured by using a configuration file. When the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server sends the alarm information to the preset terminal by using the telephone number, the email address, or the like. A user determines, by using the management terminal according to the alarm information, a reason of the exceptional exit, and determines an operation and maintenance method for resolving a problem of the exceptional exit. The management terminal sends, to the server, the operation and maintenance instruction used to maintain the target monitoring process.

S308: The server maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction.

After the server sends, to the preset terminal, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server receives the operation and maintenance instruction, and maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction, so as to prevent the target monitoring process from exceptionally exiting again due to a same reason, thereby achieving an effect of improving monitoring availability of the server.

The server may display a real-time running status of the client and a load status of the target monitoring process, and may display a log file of the client in real time. Optionally, by using a management console, the server displays the real-time running status of the client and the load status of the target monitoring process, and may display the log file of the client in real time, so that the user can understand the real-time running status of the client and the load status of the target monitoring process, and can view and download, in real time, the log file generated by the client.

The log file in this embodiment is generally a record of a specific type of completed processing, to be used as a reference in future. The log file has no fixed format, and is generally a text file. The log file may be opened by using a notepad to view content, and may also have another format.

The server may cause the client to exchange data with a third-party server, and the third-party server is related to a specific service scenario.

According to S302 to S308, a server starts a target monitoring process of a client; the server monitors, after the server starts the target monitoring process, whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits; the server sends, to a preset terminal when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the preset terminal sending an operation and maintenance instruction to the server according to the alarm information; and the server maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction, to resolve a technical problem of low monitoring availability of a server in a related technology, so as to achieve a technical effect of improving the monitoring availability of the server.

In one embodiment, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, when a service file of the client is updated, the server restarts the target monitoring process.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of another monitoring method of a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the monitoring method of a server further includes the followings.

S401: The server determines whether a service file of the client is updated.

For example, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server determines whether the service file of the client is updated.

When a service of the client is published or a service of the client is modified, the service file of the client needs to be updated, for example, an APP file is to be updated. In one embodiment, after starting the target monitoring process, the server determines whether the service file of the client is updated. If the server determines that the service file of the client is updated, the server performs S402.

S402: The server restarts the target monitoring process.

That is, if the server determines that the service file of the client is updated, the server restarts the target monitoring process.

After the server determines whether the service file of the client is updated, the server restarts the target monitoring process if the server determines that the service file of the client is updated. A process management module of the server may restart the target monitoring process, or the target monitoring process may be restarted by using a call interface of the client, so that the target monitoring process remains in a running status.

It should be noted that, after the server starts the target monitoring process, the server determines whether the service file of the client is updated. The server restarts the target monitoring process if the server determines that the service file of the client is updated. This may be implemented by using a preset service system architecture deployed on the server.

In one embodiment, after the server starts the target monitoring process, the server determines whether the service file of the client is updated. The server restarts the target monitoring process if the server determines that the service file of the client is updated, so that the target monitoring process remains in a running status.

In one embodiment, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server restarts the target monitoring process when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

After the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server monitors a running status of the target process, and determines whether the target process has an exception, for example, determines whether the target process has an error. If the server detects that the target process has an exception and exits, the server sends the alarm information to a management terminal, and automatically restarts the client process, so that the target monitoring process remains in a running status.

It should be noted that, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server restarts the target monitoring process when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits. This may be implemented by using the preset service system architecture deployed on the server.

In one embodiment, after the server obtains the target monitoring process, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server displays a status of the client according to the target monitoring process, where the status of the client includes at least one of the followings: a running status of the client, a load status of the client, and a log file of the client.

After the server obtains the target monitoring process, the server may display the status of the client by using a visual management console. The visual management console has a client running monitoring interface and a client log list interface, so that by using the visual management console, the running status of the client can be viewed, and a log file generated by an APP can be viewed and downloaded in real time, thereby improving monitoring availability of the server.

It should be noted that, after the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server displays the status of the client according to the target monitoring process. This may be implemented by using the preset service system architecture deployed on the server.

In one embodiment, before the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server obtains the target monitoring process according to a processing result, where the processing result is obtained by processing, by using a port of the client, a request of the client that is forwarded by a preset web server, and the request of the client is used to request the web server to allow the client to execute a preset event.

The request of the client that is forwarded by the preset web server is obtained by using the port of the client. The preset web server may be an Nginx server, and the request of the client is used to request the web server to allow the client to execute the preset event, and may be an HTTP request. After the request of the client is obtained by using the port of the client, the request of the client is processed, to obtain the processing result, and the server obtains the processing result, and obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result.

It should be noted that, before the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result. This may be implemented by using the preset service system architecture deployed on the server.

In one embodiment, the client includes multiple clients, and the obtaining, by the server, the target monitoring process according to a processing result includes: obtaining, by the server, a target monitoring process of each client according to a processing result of each client, where the processing result of each client is obtained by processing, by using a port of each client, a request of each client that is forwarded by the preset web server.

The client may include multiple clients, and the multiple clients may be on a same terminal or may be on separately terminals individually. The request of each client that is forwarded by the preset web server is obtained by using the port of each client. The preset web server may be an Nginx server, and the request of each client is used to request the web server to allow a corresponding client to execute the preset event, and may be an HTTP request. After the request of the corresponding client is obtained by using the port of each client, the request of the corresponding client is processed, to obtain the processing result, and the server obtains the processing result, and obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result.

In one embodiment, the server does not manage the port, but the port is managed by the corresponding client, and then the preset web server forwards the request to respective ports for processing, thereby achieving an effect of improving monitoring availability of the server.

In one embodiment, before the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server listens to a preset port of the server, to obtain the request of the server that is used to request the client to execute the preset event, and the server sends the request of the server to the client, and obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result that is obtained by processing the request of the server by using the port of the client.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another monitoring method of a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the monitoring method of a server further includes the followings.

S501: The server listens to a preset port of the server, to obtain a request of the server. The request of the server is used to request the client to execute a preset event.

Before the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, when resources in an outgoing server are sufficient, the server may directly listen to the preset port, to obtain the request used to request the client to execute the preset event. The preset port may be a port 80, the port 80 is opened for the HTTP, and a website may be accessed by adding “:80” to an HTTP address.

S502: The server sends the request of the server to the port of the client. The request of the server is processed by using the port of the client, to obtain the processing result.

After the server listens to the preset port of the server to obtain the request of the server, the server sends the request of the server to the port of the client. The request of the server is received by using the port of the client, and the request of the server is processed, to obtain the processing result. The processing result is used to obtain the target monitoring process.

S503: The server obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result.

After the server sends the request of the server to the port of the client, the server obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result, that is, the server accesses the client and monitors the target monitoring process. The server may monitor whether the target monitoring process has an exception during running, and monitor, during running of the target monitoring process, whether the client exits due to the exception. When detecting that the client exceptionally exits, the server sends, to the management terminal, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process has an exception, and automatically restarts the target monitoring process.

It should be noted that, the server listens to the preset port of the server, to obtain the request of the server that is used to request the client to execute the preset event, and the server sends the request of the server to the client, and obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result that is obtained by processing the request of the server by using the port of the client. This may be implemented by using the preset service system architecture deployed on the server.

In one embodiment, before the server starts the target monitoring process of the client, the server listens to the preset port of the server, to obtain the request of the server, where the request of the server is used to request the client to execute the preset event; the server sends the request of the server to the port of the client, where the request of the server is processed by using the port of the client, to obtain the processing result; and the server obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result, so that the target monitoring process is obtained.

In one embodiment, the client includes multiple clients; the sending, by the server, the request of the server to a port of the client includes: distributing, by the server, the request of the server to a port of each client, where the request of the server is processed by using the port of each client, to obtain a processing result of each client; and the obtaining, by the server, the client process according to a processing result includes: obtaining, by the server, a client process of each client according to the processing result of each client.

After the server listens to the preset port of the server, to obtain the request of the server, the server sends the request of the server to the port of each client, that is, a routing operation is performed on the request of the server, and the request may be routed and forwarded to a corresponding client according to domain names, paths, or uniform resource locators of different clients. The request of the server that is routed and forwarded is processed by using the port of each client, to obtain the processing result of each client. After the server sends the request of the server to the port of each client, the server obtains the target monitoring process according to the processing result of each client, that is, the server accesses the client and monitors the target monitoring process.

Optionally, in one embodiment, a web service system architecture for encapsulating a preset function is deployed on the server. The web service system architecture is a high-availability web service system architecture, and the preset function is packaged as an installation package and is deployed on the server.

Optionally, the server exchanges data with a third-party server by using a call interface in a preset running environment and a preset dependency environment.

In one embodiment, the server has a unified standard running environment and dependency environment. The running environment may be a Nodejs running environment. A Nodejs is an open-source, cross-platform, and available running environment of a server and a network application, and is used to compile a network application such as a web server. The server exchanges data with a third-party server by using a call interface in a preset running environment and a preset dependency environment. The call interface is an application programming interface (API), and is a call interface reserved by an operating system for an application program, so that the operating system executes a command in the application program. The third-party server that exchanges data with the server is determined according to an application scenario of a specific service, and may be a service backend server.

In one embodiment, the server manages and monitors an accessed client, including starting the target monitoring process, smoothly restarting the target monitoring process after the file of the client is updated, sending an alarm SMS message to the management terminal when the target monitoring process exceptionally exits and automatically restarting the target monitoring process, displaying a real-time running status of the client and a load status of a client process, displaying a log file generated when the client is viewed and downloaded, and the like, so that when the server monitors the client, monitoring on the client is combined with the alarm information of the target monitoring process, to form a closed loop to further control the target monitoring process, thereby improving monitoring availability of the server.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the service system architecture is deployed on the server, and the service system architecture is a service framework for function encapsulation. For example, the server supports the Nodejs running environment, and the service system architecture is a service framework for function encapsulation based on the Nodejs running environment.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a service system architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, multiple clients (APP) are associated with a server by using a configuration file (APPS config), a subprocess is a specific process in which an APP runs, a process manager (an APP process manager) is configured to manage a process, including starting, stopping, restarting, and performing other management on the subprocess, and a main process (Main) is a general process. A version number is used to identify a version type of the service system architecture, a node module (node_modules) is a dependency environment of the service system architecture, includes a common library (for example, an express library, a cookies library, or a react library), and further includes a call interface (an API), and an operation and maintenance tool is a component for maintaining the server.

By using the service system architecture, a server starts a target monitoring process of a client; the server monitors, after the server starts the target monitoring process, whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits; the server sends, to a preset terminal when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the preset terminal sending an operation and maintenance instruction to the server according to the alarm information; and the server maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction, thereby improving monitoring availability of the server.

FIG. 7 is another schematic relationship diagram of monitoring by a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, implementation of a monitoring process involves interaction between a server and multiple systems, including a third-party server, a management terminal, a management console, a service backend server, and a web server. The web server is, for example, an Nginx server. The followings are several stages of implementation.

First: A service system architecture is uniformly deployed on the server that needs to be installed.

Second: The server manages and monitors an accessed client by using the service system architecture, including starting a client process (an APP process), smoothly restarting the client process after a client file (an APP file) is updated, and sending an alarm SMS message to the management terminal when the client process exceptionally exits, and automatically restarting the client process; the management terminal sends, to the management console according to alarm information, a maintenance instruction used to maintain the client process; and the management console transmits the maintenance instruction to the process manager by using a process monitor, to manage the client process.

Optionally, the process monitor monitors whether a client subprocess has an exception and exits. If an APP subprocess has an exception and exits, the process monitor sends, to the process manager, information used to indicate a case in which the client subprocess has an exception and exits. The process manager restarts the client subprocess, and the process manager is further configured to start the client subprocess.

Third: The server provides a visual management console by using the service system architecture. By using the visual management console, a running status of the client process that is sent by the process monitor, a real-time running status of the client, and a load status of the client process can be viewed, and a log file generated by the client can be viewed and downloaded in real time. The management terminal may receive information used to indicate the real-time running status of the client and the load status of the client process, the log file, and the like.

In one embodiment, the web server receives a request sent by a user, where the request may be an HTTP request, and the web server forwards the request to an APP port. The request is processed by using the APP port, to obtain a processing result, and the server obtains a client process according to the processing result. The client process may be further sent to the user by using the web server, so that the web server makes a response to the request.

In one embodiment, the client process exchanges data with the service backend server. A running environment of the server may be a Nodejs running environment, and a dependency environment includes a common library, for example, an express library, a cookies library, or a react library. A common service function is further integrated, and data is exchanged with the third-party server by using a call interface (an API).

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of process management according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, a service system architecture is deployed on a server that needs to be installed, and a client APP is deployed on the server by using the system. When an APP process monitor receives a message used to indicate that an APP process exceptionally exits, the APP process monitor sends, to the server, an instruction used to instruct an APP process manager to restart the APP process, and a process management module deployed on the server automatically restarts the process according to the instruction used to instruct the APP process manager to restart the APP process. The APP process may be restarted by using a post script. After the APP process monitor monitors a case in which the APP process exceptionally exits, the APP process monitor sends, to a management console, the message used to indicate that the APP process exceptionally exits, that is, reports, to the management console, the message used to indicate that the APP process exceptionally exits. By using the management console, a real-time running status of the APP and a load status of the APP process can be viewed, and a log file generated by the APP can be viewed and downloaded in real time. In one embodiment, the client is reloaded by using the post script.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a running monitoring interface of a management console according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9, in one embodiment, the management console is implemented by deploying a service system architecture.

However, a person skilled in the art should appreciate that the present disclosure is not limited to the described order of the actions, because according to the present disclosure, some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously. In addition, a person skilled in the art should also appreciate that all the embodiments described in this specification are preferred embodiments, and the related actions and modules are not necessarily required in the present disclosure.

Accordingly, a person skilled in the art may understand that the method according to the foregoing embodiment may be implemented by software in addition to a necessary universal hardware platform and certainly may also be implemented by hardware. In most circumstances, the former is a preferred implementation. Based on such an understanding, the technical solutions of the present disclosure essentially or the part contributing to the existing technology may be implemented in a form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as a read-only memory (ROM)/a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disc) and includes several instructions for instructing a terminal device (which may be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, a network device, or the like) to perform the methods described in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a monitoring apparatus of a server that is configured to implement the foregoing monitoring method of a server is further provided. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a monitoring apparatus of a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 12, the monitoring apparatus of a server may include a starting unit 10, a monitoring unit 20, a first sending unit 30, and a maintenance unit 40.

The starting unit 10 is configured to start a target monitoring process of a client.

To manage and monitor an accessed client, the server first starts a target monitoring process by using the starting unit 10. After the target monitoring process is started by using the starting unit 10, the target monitoring process may be restarted according to a preset restarting condition, to ensure that the target monitoring process remains in a running status. Optionally, the preset restarting condition is a condition that a file of the client is updated, that is, the target monitoring process is smoothly restarted after the file of the client is updated. When a domain value of the client is changed, the target monitoring process may be restarted by using a call interface of the client. Alternatively, the preset restarting condition may be a condition that the server detects that the target monitoring process exits due to an exception, that is, the target monitoring process is automatically restarted when the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

The monitoring unit 20 is configured to monitor, after the server starts the target monitoring process, whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits.

After the starting unit 10 starts the target monitoring process, the target monitoring process starts to run. During running of the target monitoring process, the monitoring unit 20 may monitor the target monitoring process by using a monitoring module of the target monitoring process, to monitor whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits due to an exception. If the monitoring unit 20 detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server maintains the target monitoring process according to an operation and maintenance instruction. If the monitoring unit 20 detects that the target monitoring process does not exceptionally exit, the monitoring unit 20 continue monitoring the target monitoring process.

Optionally, in one embodiment, that the monitoring unit 20 monitors whether the target monitoring process exceptionally exits includes: monitoring whether a client subprocess exceptionally exits.

The first sending unit 30 is configured to send, to a preset terminal when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the preset terminal sending an operation and maintenance instruction to the server according to the alarm information.

After the monitoring unit 20 detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server automatically restarts the target monitoring process when the server detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, and the first sending unit 30 sends, to the preset terminal, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits. Optionally, the alarm information is an alarm SMS message, and the preset terminal is a management terminal, for example, a terminal device such as a mobile communications terminal, a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, an MID, or a PAD. A telephone number, an email address, and the like of the preset terminal are configured by using a configuration file. When the monitoring unit 20 detects that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the first sending unit 30 sends the alarm information to the preset terminal by using the telephone number, the email address, or the like. A user determines, by using the management terminal according to the alarm information, a reason of the exceptional exit, and determines an operation and maintenance method for resolving a problem of the exceptional exit. The management terminal sends, to the server, the operation and maintenance instruction used to maintain the target monitoring process.

The maintenance unit 40 is configured to maintain the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction.

After the first sending unit 30 is configured to send, to the preset terminal, the alarm information used to indicate that the target monitoring process exceptionally exits, the server receives the operation and maintenance instruction, and the maintenance unit 40 maintains the target monitoring process according to the operation and maintenance instruction, so as to prevent the target monitoring process from exceptionally exiting again due to a same reason, thereby achieving an effect of improving monitoring availability of the server.

The server may display a real-time running status of the client and a load status of the target monitoring process, and may display a log file of the client in real time. Optionally, by using a management console, the server displays the real-time running status of the client and the load status of the target monitoring process, and may display the log file of the client in real time, so that the user can understand the real-time running status of the client and the load status of the target monitoring process, and can view and download, in real time, the log file generated by the client.

The server may cause the client to exchange data with a third-party server, and the third-party server is related to a specific service scenario.

Further, it should be noted that, the starting unit 10, the monitoring unit 20, the first sending unit 30, and the maintenance unit 40 may serve as parts of the apparatus and run in a terminal. Functions implemented by the foregoing modules may be performed by a processor in the terminal. Alternatively, the terminal may be a terminal device such as a smartphone (for example, an Android mobile phone or an iOS mobile phone), a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, an MID, or a PAD.
